Good morning. Certainly horrific to watch whats going on down in puerto rico but around here pretty quiet. It is. While that hurricane devastated puerto rico Hurricane Maria is going out to sea. Were not being affected by that right now. Looking outside live, its spilling clouds into the region as you look at this live shot from center city with our Temple University camera. You can kind of see that we had some cloud cover but theyre mostly high thin clouds, a day very much like yesterday where you still see the sunshine filtering through them as the day progresses here. Look at these numbers, though. The big story in the weather is just how warm it is today. 72 degrees in philadelphia. Our average high is 74. Were already at 72.

The temperatures are on the warm side already. 68 degrees this morning in reading, 69 in lancaster. Look at the city, 72 degrees in philadelphia, so temperatures are almost at or usual high for this date. Here it is 4 30 in the morning. 73 in millville and cape may.

Although as crazy as the weather has been around here. Yes. We might have a heat wave in late october. Yeah, we probably will but were looking at an extended period of cooler weather coming your way. First lets look at satellite and radar. One of the things you notice is the spinning off the coast there. Thats Tropical Storm maria that is moving very slowly, about 5 miles an hour, still very near the coastline, not really impacting us but were seeing a few clouds spilling in. Kind of those high thin clouds we saw yesterday. So youll still see some sunshine filtering through it but the big story today is just how warm it is once again. 66 in reading, its 65 this morning in allentown. Its al
Upper 50s through 11 00 a. M. , and a gradual warmup in the afternoon to the lower 60s. Thats it for today. Well talk about the clearing conditions. Now to traffic and jessica boyington. Thanks. In westchester we had an accident on route 202s northbound side at boot road. Headed northbound, you see traffic is green on the map system. Everythings moving, but watch for that. Heres route 422 and cameras at route 29. So far, so good here. Here we typically see more of a delay on the eastbound side in the morning time. Right now everythings moving. The p. A. Turnpike looks good, too. Well check the drive times, route 1 to valley forge, still 22 minutes in both directions. Speeds into the high 60s. Now to breaking news in southwest philadelphia.

Matt delucia has more from the Accident Investigation Division in brewerytown with more on what police know about the driver.
Thankfully storm system is gone, however so that should recede at this point but looking at the storm scan soaking rain for this moment is now moving well out to sea. You might still run in to a few left over sprinkles for the most part this is a non issue, just aftermath problems that come in the wake of the rain from yesterday that could cause you some headaches here at least initially. Fortyone in philadelphia. Very chilly start to the morning. We have a noticeable breeze and it is a chilly one coming straight up from the north right now. Very, very cool as a result, winter coats required and then when we look at these temperatures from lancaster, reading, trenton down in the 30s at this hour. As morning and afternoon progress we will not rebound much. Lower 50s at best, below average here with again at least a few sprinkles here and there but today, not like yesterday at all, we should break out for some sunshine. We are drying out. That is good to know. We will get to that floodin
